CONSTRUCTION work on a Hampshire new town will cause overnight road closures near the site. 

Two closures are required by Hampshire County Council’s contractor Volker Fitzpatrick to ensure the safe movement of equipment and materials into the area next to the A32 for the Welborne Garden Village development. 

In addition, from mid-August, a section of the A32 will reduce from two lanes to one lane in each direction. 

Traffic management measures will consist of: Friday August 2 between 9pm and 5.30am (a single night closure).

M27 Junction 10 westbound slip road closure and associated A32 Northbound lane one closure (from M27 exit slip to Dean Farm entrance). 

The A32 will remain open in both directions and a diversion route will be in place for the M27 slip road closure. The closure is taking place to allow for the safe delivery of large equipment and materials.

Wednesday August 14 between 9pm and 5.30am (a single overnight closure).

M27 Junction 10 westbound slip road closure and A32 northbound full closure (from North Hill Roundabout to Knowle Roundabout), A32 southbound will remain open. 

A diversion route will be in place for the M27 slip road and the A32 northbound closures. 

Escorted access will be provided by on site contractors for directly impacted residents, businesses, and emergency vehicles. 

The closure is taking place to enable the installation of a full-time lane one closure on the A32 northbound. This will be in operation from 6am on August 15 until further notice, to allow for a temporary access to be constructed off the A32, north of the M27. 

For the lane closure to operate safely, the existing central refuge crossings at Dean Farm and Pook Lane need to be closed. Road users wanting to turn right or left across the A32 will need to travel north on the A32 to Knowle roundabout and then head back south.
